Read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game,” by Richard Connell.

So intent was the Cossack on his stalking that he was upon the thing Rainsford had made before he saw it. His foot touched the protruding bough that was the trigger. Even as he touched it, the general sensed his danger and leaped back with the agility of an ape. But he was not quite quick enough; the dead tree, delicately adjusted to rest on the cut living one, crashed down and struck the general a glancing blow on the shoulder as it fell; but for his alertness, he must have been smashed beneath it. He staggered, but he did not fall; nor did he drop his revolver.

What does the word embraced in this sentence from Paragraph 5 explain about voters?

Voters feel empowered because they embraced the electoral process.

Voters feel an especially strong bond with other people who have voted.

Voters enjoy voting along with their loved ones because it makes them feel closer.

Accepting the voting process wholeheartedly makes voters feel better about themselves.


Some voters come to view voting not just as a duty fulfilled, but as a recreation.



A Right and a Responsibility

What does it mean to vote? If you are of age, voting is exercising your right to determine how and who will make laws and enforce those laws on your behalf. When you vote, you determine who has a say-so in the use of tax dollars you contribute to the general welfare of the citizens of your town, county, state, and nation. Voting is not only a right, it is also a responsibility. Voting is a powerful tool that people can use to the benefit or detriment of others.

The Constitution of the United States did not originally define who had the right to vote. That determination was left up to the states, and in the majority of states at that time, only white male property owners had the right to vote. Women, people of color, and white males who did not own property had no say-so in the election of government officials. Not all voting rules were the same throughout the states, however, so this made for an interesting electorate. For example, in New Jersey, a white woman could vote if she owned property, and in some northern states, free men of color could vote. Luckily, the framers of the Constitution had the foresight to build into it a means to rectify unjust situations by allowing for the addition of amendments, or additions, to the Constitution. Through amendments, women and free people of color were eventually guaranteed the right to vote.

If voting is such a powerful tool, why is there such appalling voter turnout in many elections? People think their vote doesn’t count or doesn’t matter. Long lines of voters at the polls before sunrise are typical only of “big” elections, such as the election of a senator or representative to serve in the federal government or the election of a president for the country. But it is the off-year elections, those smaller elections for local and state offices, that should matter most. For the vast majority of the population, the local elections are the ones that touch their everyday lives. It is in these elections that people decide who runs the local school boards, who makes the rules and regulations governing behavior and activities in their locality, and who will judge the population in the local courts. There also may be issues on the ballot that will affect their daily lives that have nothing to do with who the candidate is, but actions will be taken (or not) that will affect them. When a candidate is elected, he or she feels a mandate has been given by the electorate to fulfill promises made to get into office.

Who is voting? In some studies and polls, the most active voters are usually more educated and more involved with their communities. This electorate knows the issues and problems, and knows who can and cannot help make the communities better. They read more, listen to others’ opinions more, and make a decision based on the track record of the person running. They understand that voting is a learned activity, and they want to help those in their communities who do not understand the importance of voting to better understand the process. They get involved with the populace, teaching them the requirements for voting, such as finding the polling place, numbers to call for help, learning their voting options—such as early or electronic voting—and teaching them the impact voting will have on the issues that they are concerned about.

What are other benefits of voting? Some studies have shown that voting can have a psychological effect on the voter. Voters feel empowered because they embraced the electoral process. It gives the participant a sense of satisfaction, almost like saying, “I made my voice heard today. I voted.” Voting also benefits future generations when children see their parents and other responsible adults exercising their constitutional right to vote and be heard. Voting addresses the future needs of coming generations because the policies put into place by the elected officials will affect lives now and in the future.

Low voter turnout in a country that guarantees every eligible citizen over the age of eighteen the right to vote is unacceptable. Every election you are eligible to vote in commands your participation. Make your voice heard. Don’t hesitate. Vote!

What can be inferred about the Cyclops in this excerpt from Homer’s Odyssey?
"The land of Cyclops first, a savage kind,
Nor tamed by manners, nor by laws confined:
Untaught to plant, to turn the glebe, and sow,
They all their products to free nature owe:
The soil, untill'd, a ready harvest yields,
With wheat and barley wave the golden fields;
Spontaneous wines from weighty clusters pour,
And Jove descends in each prolific shower,
By these no statues and no rights are known,
No council held, no monarch fills the throne;
But high on hills, or airy cliffs, they dwell,
Or deep in caves whose entrance leads to hell.
Each rules his race, his neighbour not his care,
Heedless of others, to his own severe."
